During the monitoring, the police found a two-second video in the Russian media showing an unknown person allegedly shooting at a TCC employee while serving a summons. The propagandists claimed that it was the National Police that allegedly published this content.
However, this is not true, and the preliminary inspection revealed that the video contains signs of forgery. For example, there are no signs of a firearms shot, the person's clothes in the video do not match the uniform of a TCC employee, and the watermark on the video is a fake NPU watermark, and does not match the one used to mark the official video, law enforcement officers said.
In addition, the police did not receive any reports of the murder or injury of an employee of the TCC JV.
